English translation

Ya se ve, Patria mía, en tu oriente Nuevo sol esparcir claridad; Ya podemos con voz reverente Pronunciar: Dios, Unión, Libertad. Cambiarán ya tu vida y tu suerte Un solo hombre tus hijos serán; Ya entre ellos no habrá guerra o muerte Y dichosos tu bien labrarán. Ya podrás alcanzar pura gloria, De tus próceres sueño tenaz; Y el laurel de tu espléndida historia Será signo de triunfos de paz. Salve, Patria, tu hermosa bandera Luce al viento del cielo el color; A su sombra juramos doquiera A vencer o morir por tu honor.

In your orient, it can be seen, oh fatherland A new sun that spreads a shining light; We can now with a reverent voice Proclaim: God, Union, Liberty. Your life and fortune shall change All of your children shall be as one; There shall not be war nor death amongst them And in happiness their prosperity they’ll forge. May you reach pure glory, Of your heroes’ tenacious dream; And let the laurels of your splendid history Be a sign of triumphs of peace. Hail, your beautiful flag, oh motherland It flies in the winds as the color of your sky; And under your shadow we solemnly swear To prevail or die for your honor.
